Why Choose Leaf Shelter For Your Gutter Guard

Now that Missouri is well into the winter season you are probably rethinking the gutter guard system you turned down in the fall.

Like any responsible homeowner you went ahead and had your gutters thoroughly cleaned at the end of the fall, in anticipation of a harsh Missouri winter. Now, as your gutters are overflowing, you realize that debris collects inside of your gutters all year round.

How Gutter Guards Protect Your Home

Just because all of the leaves have fallen does not mean your gutter system is safe. Other things like small branches and pine needles will also restrict the flow of water. If you use a professional gutter company to clean your gutters then it is likely they mentioned the convenience of a gutter guard to you. Turning them down was probably a mistake. Snow and ice wreak havoc on gutters, causing ice dams to build up and damage the very structure of your home. This problem is exacerbated when the gutter system is clogged from debris. Unless you are on a ladder everyday picking out the odds and ends that make their way into your gutter, then there has been an accumulation since you last cleaned them out. The only way to prevent this is by adding gutter guards to your home.
